How HouseIt approaches windows & doors problems
Identify the failed component before assuming full replacement. This cluster is organized by decision type—diagnosis, severity, sizing, repair-versus-replace or selection—so several long-tail questions can use one deeper engine rather than generating duplicate tools.
What information changes the result
Common decision inputs in this cluster include draft, insulated glass unit, seal failure, frame rot, water entry, glazing, vinyl, fiberglass. HouseIt asks for these progressively and keeps unknown values explicit.
Where an online check stops
Keep upper-story access and hidden water damage within appropriate professional boundaries.
